I have a Vista and XP computer on a home network. The Vista computer is
password protected (windows log-in, not BIOS). When I initially accessed a
shared file on the Vista PC from the XP computer, I was asked for a
password. I supplied the password and access was allowed to the Vista
computer. Now I can always get to the Vista computer without being asked
for a password. Is there some way to reset the XP computer and force it to
log on and supply a password again and not allow auto log-on? I hope I can
do this from the Vista computer. Thank you.

Hi,

The only way to do it from the Vista computer is to change the password on
the account used to access the machine.
